You can take time for yourself with confidence, knowing your loved one is safe, comfortable and cared for with kindness and respect.
Why taking a break matters
A short break, often called respite care, provides temporary support so family carers can step away from their caring responsibilities. This could be a few hours each week, overnight care or support during holidays or busy periods. Respite care can take place at home or in the community, depending on what works best for your loved one.
Taking regular breaks can help family carers reduce stress, improve their wellbeing and avoid burnout. You may want to rest, spend time with family, attend appointments or simply enjoy some time to yourself. Therefore, planned breaks benefit both you and the person you care for. In fact, helping family carers recharge in Hull and East Riding is important for everyone’s wellbeing.
At Caremark Hull and East Riding, we provide person-centred care that follows familiar routines, from mealtimes and medication to favourite activities, helping your loved one feel settled while you take time to recharge.
